Nikoleta Kőszegiová Recipe by Nikoleta · @surovadcerka

Two chopsticks laid either side of the block stop the knife going all the way through. That's the whole trick — cut down to them, as thin as you can manage, and you get a fan that holds together while opening up an enormous amount of surface.

Then brush the marinade into each cut individually before the block goes into the container. Poured over the outside it never reaches the gaps, and the gaps are the entire reason for cutting it this way.

An hour of marinating is the minimum and longer is plainly better. Keep the leftover marinade — thickened with a teaspoon of cornstarch it becomes the sauce, and it freezes for next time. Fifty-five minutes, 55 g of protein.

salad

Contains: gluten, nuts, sesame, soy

How to make it

  1. Cut the tofu in half if using a large 400g piece of firm tofu. If using smaller 200g pieces of extra firm tofu, leave them whole.
  2. Place Chinese chopsticks on either side of the first piece of tofu and cut it hasselback style - creating fan-like cuts as shown in the video. The chopsticks will prevent you from cutting too deep through the tofu, creating a beautiful fan shape. Make the cuts as thin as possible.
